1indications And Usage

ALIQOPA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.

Accelerated approval was granted for this indication based on overall response rate [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

ALIQOPA is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies (1).

Accelerated approval was granted for this indication based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

2dosage And Administration

•Recommended dosage: 60 mg administered as a 1-hour intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle on an intermittent schedule (three weeks on and one week off). Modify dosage for toxicity (2.1, 2.4).

•Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) or to 30 mg in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) (2.2, 8.6).

•See full prescribing information for important preparation and administration information (2.5, 2.6, 2.7).

2.1Recommended Dosage

The recommended dose of ALIQOPA is 60 mg administered as a 1-hour intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle on an intermittent schedule (three weeks on and one week off). Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5)].

2.2 Dose Modification for Moderate or Severe Hepatic Impairment

Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B). Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 30 mg in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

2.3 Dose Modification for Use with Strong CYP3A Inhibitors

Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg if a strong CYP3A inhibitor must be used. Concomitant use of ALIQOPA with strong CYP3A inhibitors increases copanlisib exposure (AUC) and may increase the risk for toxicity [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

2.4Dosage Modifications for Toxicities

Manage toxicities per Table 1 with dose reduction, treatment delay, or discontinuation of ALIQOPA. Discontinue ALIQOPA if life-threatening ALIQOPA-related toxicity occurs.

5warnings And Precautions

•Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection. Withhold treatment for Grade 3 and higher infections until resolution (5.1).

•Hyperglycemia: Start each infusion once optimal blood glucose control is achieved. Withhold treatment, reduce dose, or discontinue treatment depending on the severity and persistence of hyperglycemia (5.2).

•Hypertension: Withhold treatment in patients until both the systolic blood pressure (BP) is less than 150 mmHg and the diastolic BP is less than 90 mmHg. Consider reducing dose if anti-hypertensive treatment is required. Discontinue in patients with BP that is uncontrolled or with life-threatening consequences (5.3).

•Non-infectious pneumonitis (NIP): Treat NIP and reduce dose. Discontinue treatment if Grade 2 NIP recurs or in patients experiencing Grade 3 or higher NIP (5.4).

•Neutropenia: Monitor blood counts at least weekly while under treatment. Withhold treatment until ANC ≥0.5 x 10³ cells/mm³ (5.5).

•Severe Cutaneous Reactions: Withhold treatment, reduce dose, or discontinue treatment depending on the severity and persistence of severe cutaneous reactions (5.6).

•Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception (5.7, 8.1, 8.3).

5.1Infections

Serious, including fatal, infections occurred in 19% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy. The most common serious infection was pneumonia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and withhold ALIQOPA for Grade 3 and higher infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

Serious pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) occurred in 0.6% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Before initiating treatment with ALIQOPA, consider PJP prophylaxis for populations at risk. Withhold ALIQOPA in patients with suspected PJP infection of any grade. If confirmed, treat infection until resolution, then resume ALIQOPA at previous dose with concomitant PJP prophylaxis [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

Grade 1 or 2 cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation or infection has occurred in 0.97% of patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy. Monitor for CMV infection during treatment with ALIQOPA in patients with a history of CMV infection. For clinical CMV infection or viremia, withhold ALIQOPA until infection or viremia resolves. If ALIQOPA is resumed, administer at the previous dose and monitor patients for CMV reactivation by PCR or antigen test at least monthly [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

5.2 Hyperglycemia

Grade 3 or 4 hyperglycemia (blood glucose 250 mg/dL or greater) occurred in 41% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious hyperglycemic events occurred in 2.8% of patients. Treatment with ALIQOPA may result in infusion-related hyperglycemia. Blood glucose levels typically peaked 5 to 8 hours post-infusion and subsequently declined to baseline levels for a majority of patients; blood glucose levels remained elevated in 17.7% of patients one day after ALIQOPA infusion. Of 155 patients with baseline HbA1c <5.7%, 16 (10%) patients had HbA1c >6.5% at the end of treatment.

Of the twenty patients with diabetes mellitus treated in CHRONOS-1, seven developed Grade 4 hyperglycemia and two discontinued treatment. Patients with diabetes mellitus should only be treated with ALIQOPA following adequate glucose control and should be monitored closely.

Achieve optimal blood glucose control before starting each ALIQOPA infusion. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of hyperglycemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

5.3Hypertension

Grade 3 hypertension (systolic 160 mmHg or greater or diastolic 100 mmHg or greater) occurred in 26% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious hypertensive events occurred in 0.9% of 317 patients. Treatment with ALIQOPA may result in infusion-related hypertension. The mean change of systolic and diastolic BP from baseline to 2 hours post-infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1 was 16.8 mmHg and 7.8 mmHg, respectively. The mean BP started decreasing approximately 2 hours post-infusion; BP remained elevated for 6 to 8 hours after the start of the ALIQOPA infusion. Optimal BP control should be achieved before starting each ALIQOPA infusion. Monitor BP pre- and post-infusion. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of hypertension [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

5.4Non-Infectious Pneumonitis

Non-infectious pneumonitis occurred in 5% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Withhold ALIQOPA and conduct a diagnostic examination of a patient who is experiencing pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exam. Patients with pneumonitis thought to be caused by ALIQOPA have been managed by withholding ALIQOPA and administration of systemic corticosteroids. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of non-infectious pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

5.5Neutropenia

Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred in 24% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy. Serious neutropenic events occurred in 1.3% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor blood counts at least weekly during treatment with ALIQOPA. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of neutropenia [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

5.6Severe Cutaneous Reactions

Grade 3 and 4 cutaneous reactions occurred in 2.8% and 0.6% of 317 patients treated with ALIQOPA monotherapy, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious cutaneous reaction events were reported in 0.9%. The reported events included dermatitis exfoliative, exfoliative rash, pruritus, and rash (including maculo-papular rash). Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue ALIQOPA depending on the severity and persistence of severe cutaneous reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of copanlisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal death and fetal abnormalities in rats at maternal doses as low as 0.75 mg/kg/day (4.5 mg/m²/day body surface area) corresponding to approximately 12% the recommended dose for patients. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for one month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in the general patient population.

The safety data reflect exposure to ALIQOPA in 168 adults with follicular lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies treated with ALIQOPA 60 mg or 0.8 mg/kg equivalent in clinical trials. The median duration of treatment was 22 weeks (range 1 to 206 weeks).

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 44 (26%) patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions that occurred were pneumonia (8%), pneumonitis (5%) and hyperglycemia (5%). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were hyperglycemia, diarrhea, decreased general strength and energy, hypertension, leukopenia, neutropenia, nausea, lower respiratory tract infections, and thrombocytopenia.

Adverse reactions resulted in dose reduction in 36 (21%) and discontinuation in 27 (16%) patients. The most common reasons for dose reduction were hyperglycemia (7%), neutropenia (5%), and hypertension (5%). The most common reasons for drug discontinuation were pneumonitis (2%) and hyperglycemia (2%).

Table 2 provides the adverse reactions occurring in at least 10% of patients receiving ALIQOPA monotherapy, and Table 3 provides the treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities in ≥20% of patients and ≥4% of Grade ≥3 treated with ALIQOPA.

7drug Interactions

•CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A inducers (7.1).

•CYP3A Inhibitors: Reduce the ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg when concomitantly administered with strong CYP3A inhibitors (7.1).

7.1Effect of Other Drugs on Copanlisib

Table 4 uls the potential effects of coadministration of ALIQOPA with strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers.
Concomitant use of ALIQOPA with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease copanlisib AUC and C_max[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Avoid concomitant use of ALIQOPA with strong CYP3A inducers Concomitant use of ALIQOPA with strong CYP3A inhibitors increases the copanlisib AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

An increase in the copanlisib AUC may increase the risk of adverse reactions If concomitant use with strong CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]

•Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed (8.2).

8.1Pregnancy
Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action, ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].

There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of copanlisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal death and fetal abnormalities at maternal doses approximately 12% of the recommended dose for patients (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received intravenous doses of copanlisib of 0, 0.75, or 3 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of copanlisib at the dose of 3 mg/kg/day resulted in maternal toxicity and no live fetuses. Copanlisib administration at the dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day was maternally toxic and resulted in embryo-fetal death (increased resorptions, increased post-implantation loss, and decreased numbers of fetuses/dam). The dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day also resulted in increased incidence of fetal gross external (domed head, malformed eyeballs or eyeholes), soft tissue (hydrocephalus internus, ventricular septal defects, major vessel malformations), and skeletal (dysplastic forelimb bones, malformed ribs and vertebrae, and pelvis shift) abnormalities. The dose of 0.75 mg/kg/day (4.5 mg/m² body surface area) in rats is approximately 12% of the recommended dose for patients.

Following administration of radiolabeled copanlisib to pregnant rats approximately 1.5% of the radioactivity (copanlisib and metabolites) reached the fetal compartment.

8.2Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of copanlisib and/or metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. Following administration of radiolabeled copanlisib to lactating rats, approximately 2% of the radioactivity was secreted into milk; the milk to plasma ratio of radioactivity was 25-fold. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from copanlisib, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with ALIQOPA and for 1 month after the last dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

ALIQOPA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Pregnancy Testing

Conduct pregnancy testing prior to initiation of ALIQOPA treatment.

Contraception

Females

Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception (contraception with a failure rate <1% per year) during treatment with ALIQOPA and for one month after the last dose.

Males

Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during treatment with ALIQOPA and for one month after the last dose.

Infertility

There are no data on the effect of ALIQOPA on human fertility. Due to the mechanism of action of copanlisib, and findings in animal studies, adverse effects on reproduction, including fertility, are expected [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of ALIQOPA have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5Geriatric Use

No dosage adjustment of ALIQOPA is necessary in patients ≥65 years of age. Of 168 patients with follicular lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies treated with ALIQOPA, 48% were age 65 or older while 16% were age 75 or older. No clinically relevant differences in efficacy were observed between elderly and younger patients. In patients ≥65 years of age, 30% experienced serious adverse reactions and 21% experienced adverse reactions leading to discontinuation. In the patients <65 years of age, 23% experienced serious adverse reactions and 11% experienced adverse reactions leading to discontinuation.

8.6 Hepatic Impairment

Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 45 mg for patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B). Reduce ALIQOPA dose to 30 mg for patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤1 × upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

11description

ALIQOPA (copanlisib) is a kinase inhibitor for intravenous infusion. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is copanlisib dihydrochloride which exists as a non-stoichiometric hydrate and has the molecular formula of C₂₃H₂₈N₈O₄ 2HCl and a molecular weight of 553.45 g/mol. The molecular formula and molecular weight are based on the anhydrous form. The chemical name is 2-amino-N-{7-methoxy-8-[3-(morpholin-4-yl)propoxy]-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolin-5-yl}pyrimidine-5-carboxamide dihydrochloride. Copanlisib dihydrochloride has the following structural formula:

ALIQOPA is supplied in single-dose vials as a sterile lyophilized solid for reconstitution and further dilution for intravenous infusion. The product is white to slightly yellowish. After reconstitution, the solution is colorless to slightly yellowish. Each vial contains 60 mg copanlisib free base (equivalent to 69.1 mg copanlisib dihydrochloride). After reconstitution, each mL contains 15 mg copanlisib free base (equivalent to 17.3 mg copanlisib dihydrochloride).

Inactive ingredients: Each vial contains 5.8 mg citric acid anhydrous (might increase to 6.1 mg in case pH correction is necessary), 120 mg mannitol (bulking agent). Citric acid anhydrous acts as a buffering agent and may be used together with sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment.

12clinical Pharmacology

12.1Mechanism of Action

Copanlisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with inhibitory activity predominantly against PI3K-α and PI3K-δ isoforms expressed in malignant B cells. Copanlisib has been shown to induce tumor cell death by apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation of primary malignant B cell lines. Copanlisib inhibits several key cell-signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, CXCR12 mediated chemotaxis of malignant B cells, and NFκB signaling in lymphoma cell lines.

12.2Pharmacodynamics

At 60 mg (or 0.8 mg/kg) of ALIQOPA dose, the elevation of plasma glucose was associated with higher copanlisib exposure.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

ALIQOPA does not cause a large mean increase in QTc interval > 20 milliseconds at the recommended dose.

The effect of the recommended ALIQOPA dose of 60 mg on the QTc interval was evaluated in an open label, dedicated QT study of 25 patients with advanced cancer. A decrease in the change-from-baseline QTc (DQTc) was observed after the start of ALIQOPA administration, followed by an increase in DQTc between 12 and 24 hours post-treatment. The observed changes in DQTc are not likely due to direct inhibition of cardiac ion channels.

12.3Pharmacokinetics

The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (C_max) of ALIQOPA increase dose-proportionally over 5 to 93 mg (0.08 to 1.55 times the approved recommended dose) absolute dose range and exhibit linear pharmacokinetics (PK). There is no time-dependency and no accumulation in the PK of copanlisib.

The geometric mean (range) steady state copanlisib exposure at 0.8 mg/kg (approximately the approved recommended dose of 60 mg) are 463 (range: 105 to 1670; SD: 584) ng/mL for C_maxand 1570 (range: 536 to 3410; SD: 338) ng.hr/mL for AUC_0-25h.

Distribution

The in vitro human plasma protein binding of copanlisib is 84.2%. Albumin is the main binding protein. The in vitro mean blood-to-plasma ratio is 1.7 (range: 1.5 to 2.1). The geometric mean volume of distribution is 871 (range: 423 to 2150; SD: 479) L.

Elimination

The geometric mean terminal elimination half-life of copanlisib is 39.1 (range: 14.6 to 82.4; SD: 15.0) hours. The geometric mean clearance is 17.9 (range: 7.3 to 51.4; SD: 8.5) L/hr.

Approximately >90% of copanlisib metabolism is mediated by CYP3A and <10% by CYP1A1. The M-1 metabolite accounts for 5% of total radioactivity AUC and its pharmacological activity is comparable to the parent compound copanlisib for the tested kinases PI3KαandPI3Kβ.

Copanlisib is excreted approximately 50% as unchanged compound and 50% as metabolites in humans. Following a single intravenous dose of 12 mg (0.2 times the recommended approved dose) radiolabeled copanlisib, approximately 64% of the administered dose was recovered in feces and 22% in urine within 20 to 34 days. Unchanged copanlisib represented approximately 30% of the administered dose in feces and 15% in urine. Metabolites resulting from CYP450-mediated oxidation metabolism accounted for 41% of the administered dose.

Specific Populations

Age (20 to 90 years), gender, race (White, Asian, Hispanic, and Black), smoking status, body weight (41 to 130 kg), and mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment [CLcr ≥ 15 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equation] had no clinically significant effect on the PK of copanlisib. The PK of copanlisib in patients with end stage renal disease (CLcr < 15 mL/min by C-G equation) with or without dialysis is unknown.

Patients with Hepatic Impairment

Based on a population PK analysis in patients with cancer, mild hepatic impairment [total bilirubin ≤ 1 x ULN and AST > ULN, or total bilirubin > 1-1.5 x ULN and any AST] had no clinically relevant effect on the PK of copanlisib.

In a dedicated PK study evaluating a single intravenous dose of 12 mg (0.2 times the recommended approved dose of 60 mg) of ALIQOPA in subjects with hepatic impairment, the geometric mean of total copanlisib C_max and AUC increased 1.38-fold and 1.71-fold, respectively, in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) and 1.44-fold and 2.71-fold, respectively, in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh C) as compared to normal hepatic function. The geometric mean unbound AUC of copanlisib increased 1.23-fold and 3.77-fold in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, respectively. The geometric mean unbound Cmax of copanlisib did not increase in patients with moderate hepatic impairment, but increased 1.92-fold in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Drug Interaction Studies

Effect of CYP3A and P-gp Inducers on Copanlisib

Rifampin, a strong CYP3A and a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter inducer, administered at a dose of 600 mg once daily for 12 days with a single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA in patients with cancer resulted in a 60% decrease in the mean AUC and a 12% decrease in C_max of copanlisib [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

Effect of CYP3A, P-gp and BCRP Inhibitors on Copanlisib

Itraconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor and a P-gp and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) transporter inhibitor, administered at a dose of 200 mg once daily for 10 days increased the mean AUC of a single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA by 53% (or 1.53-fold) with no effect on C_max (1.03-fold) in patients with cancer [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

Effect of Copanlisib on Other Drugs

Coadministration of a single intravenous dose of 60 mg ALIQOPA with a single 1000 mg dose of metformin, a clinically relevant substrate of multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) 2-K transporter, in healthy subjects increased the metformin AUC by 11% (or 1.11-fold) with no effect on Cmax (0.94-fold).

Effect of Transporters on Copanlisib:

Copanlisib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but not a substrate for organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, OCT2, and OCT3, organic anion transporter (OAT) 1 and OAT3, organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3, MATE1 or MATE2-K.

Effect of Copanlisib on CYP and non-CYP Enzymes

Copanlisib is not an inhibitor of the metabolism of drugs that are substrates of the major CYP isoforms (CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) or uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms (UGT) or dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations. Copanlisib is not an inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A.

Effect of Copanlisib on Drug Transporter Substrates

Copanlisib is not an inhibitor of P-gp, BCRP, multi-drug resistance-associated protein (MRP2), bile salt export pump (BSEP), OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, and MATE1 at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations.

Copanlisib is an inhibitor of MATE2-K (IC₅₀: 0.09 μM) at therapeutic 60 mg dose plasma concentrations.

13nonclinical Toxicology

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with copanlisib.

Copanlisib did not cause genetic damage in in vitro or in vivo assays.

Fertility studies with copanlisib were not conducted; however, adverse findings in male and female reproductive systems were observed in the repeat dose toxicity studies. Findings in the male rats and/or dogs included effects on the testes (germinal epithelial degeneration, decreased weight, and/or tubular atrophy), epididymides (spermatic debris, decreased weight, and/or oligospermia/aspermia), and prostate (reduced secretion and/or decreased weight). Findings in female rats included effects on ovaries (hemorrhage, hemorrhagic cysts, and decreased weight), uterus (atrophy, decreased weight), vagina (mononuclear infiltration), and a dose-related reduction in the numbers of female rats in estrus.

14clinical Studies

14.1Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma

The efficacy of ALIQOPA was evaluated in a single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial (NCT 01660451) CHRONOS-1 in a total of 142 subjects, which included 104 subjects with follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who had relapsed disease following at least two prior treatments. Patients must have received rituximab and an alkylating agent. Baseline patient characteristics are summarized in Table 5. The most common prior systemic therapies were chemotherapy in combination with anti-CD20 immunotherapy (89%), chemotherapy alone (41%), and anti-CD20 immunotherapy alone (37%). In CHRONOS-1, 34% of patients received two prior lines of therapy and 36% received three prior lines of therapy.
